I. Definition

Infertility tests?

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 22:51:03 +0000

Hi Everyone, I have been ttc for 15 months now! I went to see my doctor after we had been trying for 12 months and she did a Progesterone Test which came back ok and the doctor confirmed that I was ovulating. Next I had to go to the hospital for a smear like test and they have now made more appointments for me. One is for a blood test and one is for a Ultra Sound Scan. I also have to give a sample from by partner to make sure his sperm count it ok.
I just wondered if anyone else has been through these infertility tests and can give me any advice on what to expect as I am so nervous. The hospital have made another appointment for me on 31st December for the results and I am praying its not bad news.
I am trying so hard to be positive but the last 6 months I have been experiencing "spotting" a week before my period is due and without coming across too crude, its old blood rather than new. So now I’ve kind of convinced myself something is wrong !
Any genuine advice appreciated

Any advice from anyone who has experienced anything like this would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Mini Pill – advice please?

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 22:37:58 +0000

ok, so im having to switch from the combined pill to the progesterone only pill….but i didn’t take the first pill of the POP pill following the last day of the combined. So im starting the POP pill today (which would be a week after finishing the combined pill) what can i expect to happen? and for how long am i not protected contraceptively? (My partner and I do use barrier methods too, but will abstain until i know i am protected)
Also has anyone else been on this pill? Im very scared about starting it as ive heard bad reports about it (hence why i didn’t start it straight away, so i could talk to a doctor). If so…what side effects did you suffer? Im most concerned about depression, weight gain, headaches, and a lack of periods (concerned if this may affect future fertility) NB – I have endometriosis, will this affect it?

Please help….any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
